Norman's house is very big, it has big doors, big stairs, it looks gothic. The "gothic" is.
usually linked to repressed sexual desires, and this film carries on that tradition. The.
camera shows a long shot of the door, but the camera is positioned on the floor next to.
the stairs, that maybe because Norman is feeling low, and Hitchcock wanted us to feel.
that too. Norman approaches the stairs, and the camera pans behind him, on the right.
hand side of the screen are the stairs which lead up to "mother" and on the left, is a.

We see Marion decide not to go through with it, and in a mid-close up of her sitting on.
the chair, we get to see the frustration in her eyes, she wishes she hadn't stolen the.
money, but another part of her doesn't. In her frustration she rips up the page, and gets.
up to dispose of it. The camera stays in the same place, next to her chair. She walks.

symbolise the audiences response. Hitchcock decided to keep the camera still, as if to.
be "stunned" at what just happened. Or, was it because she was going into the.
bathroom, and following her would be wrong? .
Once in the bathroom, we get a close up of the toilet, as Marion flushes the pieces of.
paper, and we watched as they whirl down. A mid close up of Marion closing the door.
reminds me of when Norman closed to the door to his office, something bad is going.
to happen, she just trapped herself in the room, it makes me wonder what her fate will.
be. We see a close up of Marions feet as she removes her robe and gets into the shower. We get to see her feet because they are naked (as is the rest of her) but we.
